The Tournament of Heirs by Amilea Perez
5.0
Final Rating: ♾⭐️
Holy. freaking. heck. WOW. just wow. I love everything about this book - the brother/sister bond between our two MC’s, the two separate love stories woven in, the buildup to the tournament, the deep exploration of aztec culture, everything. Perez flawlessly communicates themes of deep responsibility, loyalty, unconditional love, grief and loss. Metztli is such a strong character and I love her complete devotion to her brother. I loved the duality of Metztli’s strong, bada**, black cat energy personality and approach to protecting her brother and Acalan’s golden retriever, lover boy, gentle personality. They really were a perfect example of complete opposites coming together for a shared purpose - protecting each other at all costs.
Also, I will say - Necalli actually really surprised me by the end of this one and ended up being one of my favorite characters (the orange???? PLS!!! i was literally drooling - iykyk).
Overall, I would recommend to absolutely everyone and anyone! Actually, i’m literally begging yall to read this and message me your thoughts bc I HAVE TO DISCUSS! Once you start reading, it is almost impossible to put down - I read 60% of this book in one day (~345 pages). This book is very reminiscent of the hunger games, so if you were a fan of that series i BEG you PLS read this - you will be obsessed. This was an absolutely PHENOMENAL debut (actually so hard to believe this is her first book) and I will be impatiently frothing at the mouth waiting for book 2!
